How is it November already? Where has the time gone? As we are all coping with another lockdown, we could all do with a little pick-me-up right now. What is better than to start planning all of the things we will do as soon as we are free again?
Christmas is fast approaching and that means London streets will soon, if not already, be lit up with their spectacular Christmas lights! Take a stroll around the markets with your loved ones while enjoying street food and socially distanced entertainment.
